Sessionstate problem: "Unrecognized configuration section 'sessionstate'"

sessionstate should be sessionState. Please note S. web.config is case sensitive.

Hi,

<sessionstate... should be <sessionState...   (case sensitive)

Sorry for the echo :)

OK,
now I get :

"Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

):

Did you forget to make your application as virtual directory? Open IIS, right click the application folder, click properties, in Application Settings section click on Create button.

The configuration is set to a web site
everything is working except when i use the sessionState in web.config .

Is this all you have in the web.config or there is something more? If you have more, post the complete web.config here.

Hi,
I had 2 web.config files in my site (one in the root and one inside a library)
The problem I wrote about happened in the second one.
Once I moved the sessionState decleration to the web.config that is in the root it started working.

Do you think this was my problem all along?


Here is the original web.config that we used:

-----------------------------------------------------------
<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <sessionState timeout="45"/>
       <customErrors mode="Off"/>
      <globalization
                 fileEncoding="utf-8"
                 requestEncoding="utf-8"
                 responseEncoding="utf-8"
                 culture="en-US"
                 uiCulture="en-US"
            />
    </system.web>
      <!-- Apllication Constants -->
      <appSettings>
            <add key="IsCMS"                      value="x" />
            <add key="SiteEmail"                  value="x" />
            <add key="SmtpServer"                 value="x" />
            <add key="IsOnline"                   value="x" />
      </appSettings>
</configuration>
-----------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again.
